Being able to "search" requires being good at "thinking"

2025-07-16   

In the era of the internet, search engines have become a commonly used tool in daily life, and answers can be found with just a tap of your fingertips. But we need to be aware that the ubiquitous search box not only provides us with great convenience in obtaining information, but also may inadvertently cultivate our laziness in thinking. In the military field full of variables and intense confrontation, this phenomenon must be particularly vigilant. Search is the shortcut to obtaining information, while contemplation is the light that illuminates the lost path. Search engines, no matter how powerful, are like crutches that can assist in walking but cannot completely replace footsteps; The true journey of thought still requires us to measure it ourselves. As soldiers with special mission tasks, if they lack independent and profound thinking ability, they are easily lost and at a loss in the face of various massive information; Faced with repeated push notifications of the same or similar viewpoints, it is easy to be biased and misled. In the Falklands War, in order to land at the port of San Carlos in the northwest of the island, the British army achieved the goal of hiding the truth by releasing "false news" that the British were preparing to land in the south of the island and continuously bombing targets such as Darwin Port and Gusgreen Airport in the south of the island. In contrast, the Argentine military overly relies on radar systems for intelligence information interpretation, and decision-makers lack careful screening and analysis of a large amount of intelligence information, ignoring the possibility of opponents attempting to launch a "pivot" campaign, ultimately leading to defeat. The future battlefield is a battlefield of information flow. To some extent, with the development of technology, war has been placed in an open flow of information and a well connected network. Although this change has made searching for various types of information no longer difficult, the sudden increase in the amount of information has made it even more necessary for decision-makers to enhance their ability to compare, filter, distinguish, and integrate information. This ability cannot rely solely on the collection, calculation, analysis, and simulation of various artificial intelligence tools, but also requires commanders to exert subjective initiative. Only through profound thinking and discovering special perspectives can they insight into its hidden mysteries. Although the sword is sharp, it is not sharp and continuous; Although the material is beautiful, one cannot learn high. ”The extent to which intelligent tools can contribute to the construction of combat effectiveness depends not only on their own performance indicators, but also on the user's conceptual wisdom. On the one hand, we should fully break down our thinking, focus on innovative artificial intelligence construction and application models for military struggle preparation, turn technological advantages into operational advantages, make the battlefield more transparent, information more smooth, and data more accurate, and minimize resistance to war as much as possible from the perspective of battlefield perception. On the other hand, efforts should be made to overcome the thinking inertia caused by technological dependence. A certain composite battalion set up a course on "anti reconnaissance interference" during the exercise, requiring officers and soldiers to rely on traditional means to complete tasks when information is chaotic; A certain college has included "no network deduction" as a compulsory course, guiding students to return to the essential logic of the battlefield. This kind of 'breaking through the wall of thinking' training is aimed at making technology an extension of thinking rather than a shackle. Today, when we are on the battlefield of informatization and intelligence, every time we type the keyboard or click the mouse, we must deeply ask: Am I thinking about it? Only by putting the rapidly arriving information into the brain and repeatedly pondering can we dispel the "fog of war", achieve mutual understanding, and achieve "strategic planning and decisive victory thousands of miles away".
